Join the "dark" force? D**n, these are one of the brightest headphones available!

Dark? *Looking at HD650* Heheh...

T1+69 here.

Wish I could subtract the 69 and get the T1. LOL.

I hear no evil...

Good stuff!

If T1 pairs well with Tubes, I guess maybe T70 too? Tryin to find a "value" tube for my T70 as well. Tired of driving it straight out of Dacport LX.

I was kinda avoiding tubes because I wonder if they sound like "distorted". And it's a totally different kind of amp to me, rendering me not knowing where to start. Maybe getting bravo or other cheaper alternatives will help. Tubes...Tubes...Heard they make audiophile recordings "shine"!

So poisonous are the tube amps?

hongrui, what kind of "shades" do you mean? So, warm mids=good for vocals and other lower fq instruments? Bon Jovi suitable onot?

Yup. Thanks Yuheng for allowing the audition of the ultimate T1 setup.

But damn that construction for messing up the wonderful experience =.=

Should be a step up!

Now that I fall in love with T70's sound,

I don't know how to get a fully open can ==

try to get a benchmark by playing on youtube perhaps? or even download/rip a copy, or even better, play on the CD?

Sounds like source problem. COP supposedly can handle human frequency range.

U really like elevated treble? Well, tried both bro?

yeah it's better to try to find out! Personally, i'll get DT880 with a tube amp for mids.
Or other headphones. maybe.

Is it true that they are using DT1350 drivers on T51p?

try to listen at interval 50 hrs, 100 hrs, 150 hrs, etc.
It differs from people to people. Some people hear changes, other doesn't.
Most importantly is you!

To my ears, I'd skip DTX501P and go for DT231. I've heard one very good DT231 which the soundstage is so wide and defined. Maybe I'm not so into bass?

T51p
Around 100+hours old.

What I thought of the sound signature on the demo unit, it turned out to be different on mine!
I enjoyed some bass punch, and the demo unit ones are just the right amount, compared to DT1350 and T50p. Mine now... OMG the bass was really punchy (neither too tight nor too loose, but in a lot of quantity).
Mids are still the Beyer house signature. Sit right at the middle, nor forward nor deep inside. Treble is well controlled so far I hear, with some splashes here and there but it's not really sibilant (due to being too warmed by the bass, I suspect). Staging is fairly good, okay-good kinda type with enough left-right and forward-deep positioning.
One thing for sure, to my taste, I'd prefer to reduce the bass. In my case, by using the Line Out on iBasso DX50 (which increased the clarity and reduce the bass impact of the source). Even that, the bass is still quite punchy.
This porta-HP isolates quite well, and the cable length is of sufficient length on outdoor use. Well, time to experience more burn-in to find out if anything changes!

SRH840 is for monitoring. I guess it sticks to its purpose. Hmmm..

Btw, saw rumor about the T90J being priced close to T1. Wow
